Rating: 4 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: I have read many books on the wild edibles of our Rocky Mountains, and have had very few compare to this one. This book not only gives DETAILED color photos of every plant listed, he also gives approximate dates (months) they are to be immature, mature, flowering, adn bearing fruit. He also gives potential lookalikes, cautions, uses, and special notes of other uses. This book is divided into three main sections. Low altitude plants, High altitude plants and the common toxic plants of the area. All the plants listed in all sections are fairly common and I am sure many people from enthusiasts to hikers/backpackers would find this information useful. In the back of the book, Seebeck also includes ideas of what type of recipies to use these plants in. The only reason I awarded four stars is because I wished there were more listed, like those ever present mountain weeds and grains.
